In honor of Labor Day, I'm taking to day off from working up a new blog topic. Instead, this is YOUR turn to ask me anything and everything you ever wanted to know about my cancer, treatment, or whatever. I'll tackle (nearly) any question - from the serious to the silly. It's open Q&A time!(P.S. - pray for me today, though. The clinic is closed and Shanda has to give me an injection in the belly. She's been waiting a long time to inflict this kind of pain on me, I think.)

do you lose your hair everywhere or just on your head?
I'll give a (safe) generic answer and then a couple of examples.
(1) I haven't lost ALL my hair, but I've been losing hair sporadically from all sorts of places. Nothing seems to be off limits.
(2) I haven't shaved in 2 months. And all the hair on the outside of my shins is gone while the hair on the inside of my shins has remained.
Aaron, I can come over and give you the shot if you want. What are friends and colleages for?
If Shanda uses a sharp needle it might not hurt much :o)
If my target market happens to be the hospital floor you are making laps around, I'd be tempted to buy ad space above your left ear. I mean this makes for some really good walking billboard, per-impression rates. However, wisdom dictates I wait until your "total market coverage" is ALL of Conway at which time I'll buy above both ears, forehead and rear pillow spot.
My question is this: Are there additional costs for battery powered L-E-D's? dad
That is SO weird. Cuz I was wondering about your shin hair but didnt quite know how to ask.
THANKS!
:)
What part of your life has cancer affected the most (and least)? Also, how could we better minister to those who have cancer and their families?
Oscar,
My wife did a great job with the injection today! Thanks for the offer, though.
Great questions(s), Stephen. Give me a little time to forumulate a thoughtful response.
Due to your recent and continued bouts of hair loss, will this in any way affect your choice of a Halloween costume?
james,
Kojak and Mr. Clean are old news by now.
I'm thinking maybe Paul Shaffer.
If nothing is off the floor here goes...
1. Do you remember the fabulous days of Sonseekers? If so do you remember the day that I was like an hour late? LOL
2. What is the least intelligent question anyone has asked you? (I hope that I get at least top 5)
3. Will you ever say the word "crap" in church again?
4. How can you be sure to have a boy? (hoping for top 5 with this one and not really expecting a response!)
With so many different types of med.s do you have strange dreams? Do you dream that you are "not" in this season of your life?
If you could pick one King's X song to describe your life over the past couple months, what would it be and why?
Have you thought thru the "fear" issue? How is Shanda doing?

Andy,
(1) I remember Sonseeker days well. But don't remember you being late. Should we have fired you?
(2) Pending....
(3) Absolutely, if it will get me a laugh or two.
(4) Grandma took that secret with her when she died. I know the myths I've got to keep the blog family friendly.
Anonymous,
YES, I've noticed having some very weird and vivid dreams.
Just the other night I dreamt I was part of the Duggar family. I was like the oldest adopted son somehow. We had a picnic and I was in charge of bringing about 14 cartons of ice cream for everyone to share.
I can't think of any serious/meaninful dreams, though. Just random ones.
Ryan,
I've been listening to my share of King's X lately - the old stuff - while in the hospital. (They have a new CD out, but it's not that great.)
2 songs...
Summerland - don't remember all the lyrics, but it's a great song and deals with mourning the good ol' days, right? I wish for summer again.
It's Love - that holds it all together
Levy Reader,
I'm ignoring my fears at the moment. When I have them, that is. I really don't struggle that often. But I'm developing the ability to turn my brain off when that 10-15, 10-15, 10-15 worry sets in.
That may not be the best coping strategy, but it's what I'm going with now. I have too many other things to concern myself over to get too wrapped up in the what-ifs. So I'm pretending the what-ifs aren't there.
God is good and gives me peace when I need it!
Levy Reader,
Also, Shanda is doing well. She is a strong woman and I am lucky to have her.
Continue to pray for her, though. Life is stressful. She is wading through insurance mumbo-jumbo (sometimes on a daily basis), managing 3 kids (sometimes without much help from me), and working part time. It's a lot for her.
I am praying so much every day for Shanda. I am praying for you, too, Aaron...but I keep Shanda in the front of my mind at all times. She amazes me- and it has been a blessing and encouragement to watch you both journey through this.
Did you enjoy the Legendary Shack Shakers?
Aaron, I certainly thought that you were going to fire me that day! You were pretty upset, but I'm not sure it was totally at me! I've heard the myths too, and thanks for keeping the blog fam friendly!!!!!!!!
Dr. New! You had a dream you were part of the Duggar family? This sounds like a nightmare, not just a dream. I want to hear more dream stories!
